Offensive Solutions Architect

What You’ll Do

Subject Matter Expertise & Requirements Translation

• Maintain operational proficiency and credibility through regular engagement with live cyber operations and intelligence production (within appropriate constraints).
• Serve as a primary SME for cyber operations and intelligence analysis, translating complex operational workflows into clear, prioritized technical requirements for Twenty’s product and engineering teams.
• Validate that our AI‑powered graph database applications accurately represent and enhance offensive and defensive cyber operations, including DNEA / EA tradecraft.
• Lead structured requirements‑gathering sessions with government customers and convert operational needs into actionable, testable development work.

Growth Engineering & Workflow Design

• Go beyond demos: design, build, and refine operational workflows in Twenty’s products for new and existing IC user groups.
• Work directly with cyber operators and analysts to gather feedback on user interfaces, graph models, and workflows, then iterate quickly with Forward Deployed Analysts and core engineering.
• Identify relevant datasets and signals through deep engagement with customer problems, and partner with Forward Deployed Analysts to integrate them into stable, extensible pipelines.
• Present mission workflows, results, and next‑step proposals to audiences ranging from operators to senior executives.
• Scope new deployments and use cases across additional IC elements, helping Twenty expand from initial adopters to broader mission footprints.

Customer Engagement & Strategic Leadership

• Represent Twenty in customer engagements, using your operational credibility to build trust and long‑term partnerships.
• Lead high‑impact technical demonstrations that show how our AI and graph capabilities materially improve mission outcomes (more/better/faster operations across more targets).
• Collaborate with government stakeholders to surface emerging operational requirements, capability gaps, and opportunities for new product directions.
• Act as the connective tissue between operators, leadership, and Twenty’s internal teams so we always build for real‑world mission impact, not slideware.
